Domaine Henri Gouges – Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru “Aux Chaignots” 2019
For over a century, Domaine Henri Gouges has been synonymous with the heart and soul of Nuits-Saint-Georges, Burgundy. Founded by Henri Gouges at the dawn of the 20th century, the estate was meticulously developed by his sons Michel and Marcel, and is now nurtured by the third generation—Pierre, Christian, and their successor, Grégor.
Spanning 15 hectares of some of the most prized vineyards in the Côte d’Or, the domain has earned its place on the finest tables in France and around the globe. The names of its vineyards—Chaignots, Pruliers, Clos des Porrets Saint-Georges, and Vaucrains—read like a who’s who of Burgundy’s most distinguished terroirs.
At Domaine Henri Gouges, the philosophy has always been simple yet profound: “It is whilst still on the vine that a fine wine matures.” This commitment to vineyard care, yield management, and the pursuit of excellence is evident in every bottle they produce. The wines of Henri Gouges balance youthful vibrancy with age-old complexity, offering fruit-driven exuberance alongside profound depth and concentration.
The 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru “Aux Chaignots” is a true expression of the estate’s dedication to showcasing the unique character of its terroirs. This premier cru comes from a vineyard that lies on the border with Vosne-Romanée, bringing a touch of finesse to its Nuits-Saint-Georges structure.
With aromas of red and dark berries layered with earthy spices, the 2019 “Aux Chaignots” is both powerful and elegant. On the palate, it offers a luxurious texture, balanced by fine tannins and a saline minerality on the finish.
